Fire Resist Armor has a Twist in Helldivers 2

[@Seeeyog]

I apologize, after reading the comments and explanation from some people, my statement "More Armor gives More Fire Resistance" is somewhat wrong. The Light to Heavy armor is an increasing damage reduction from all sources which blends with the 75% Fire Resist which in turns gives more fire resistance, is what I should've said. Also in the end, the Napalm Strike is meant to be a joke, but after looking back at the footage, if you stim right before the strike, you can probably tank it with the fire resist armor.

[@maximoguerra4619]

Its okey nice video perfect explanations and demonstrations thx for taking the time

[@POWER_WAFFLE]

@Seeeyog, Would wearing fire resistant armor help take less damage if you get shot by the Laser Rover Guard Dog?

[@Seeeyog]

Heard the Laser cause Fire Tick damage with Guard Rovers and weapons, if that's the case then yes, the armor should work on it. I'll have to test it though.

Agreed. You're using a stim one way or another, so heavy medic armor is better fire resist armor than fire resist armor.

[@SillyBoneThugg]

Nah it’s good as long as it’s not certain death that seems like the point. If you are wearing med armor and get lit on fire by say a hulk ur dead regardless of stim use especially if you fall

I think it should just be outright immunity to taking damage from the on fire effect tbh.

[@ligma9853]

@@SillyBoneThugg yeah I mean at least it protects you from certain death when crossing land on fire but as the other guy said, it forces you to use a stim anyway which kind of defeats the whole point

I love the fire resistance set but I'd bump it up to 95% like anti arc sets But more importantly make it so that when you wear fire resistant armour the helldiver doesn't scream in pain when on fire but laughs maniacally like when you fire a gun for a long time

[@julianpedersen9167]

In addition, I'd love to see that if you get ignited, your health falls under maybe 25%, and the remaining burn time is enough to kill you, your Diver stops laughing and immediately starts screaming and panicking as usual. Would serve as a neat piece of diegetic game info feedback, _and_ be funny as heck.

[@sirslayerca4704]

Eagle napalm has multiple damaging effects, it has the bombs physical impact radius, and the napalm. It looks like you were inside the impact zone and got insta-killed from that rather than the fire and it’s spread.

[@Seeeyog]

While I was recording, I think the heavy armor can tank Napalm Strike if you stim before impact. I will try this later on!

[@ZeHeavyArmor]

Thank you for showing a demonstration of the fire resistance armor. I wonder if you can demonstrate the primary and secondary weapon flamethrowers with the new warbond as well.

[@Seeeyog]

Thank you for watching! Currently it's a bit hectic here with work, but I'll try to make the vid in my free time for sure!

[@ramennight]

You can get pretty similar results with medic armor. Just pop a stim when you get set on fire and you can run through fire tornadoes for the same amount of time or longer than in the fire armor. The fire resist armor doesn't stop that need for a stim anyway.

[@Azrael178]

yeah. honestly the biggest advantage it gives is additional time to react, and guarantee you will have time to finish steam animation. Although honestly, the biggest boosts to survivability were negating random incendiary pelot hits from those fire shoties everyone is rolling around with, and when you get ragdalled into fire

[@jar-jarnotbinks7685]

No, more armor doesn't give you more fire resistance, it gives you more overall damage reduction regardless of the source. This effect is at neutral with armors of 50 and damages received reduce as armor increase. Note that any armor that has a value strictly superior to 100 will also reduce the damages to the head part significantly. The KZbinr Eravin made a pretty extensive breakthrough of all armors stats.

[@Seeeyog]

Was thinking Fire/Gas shouldn't interact with the Armor, if this is how it's works then the 75% is blending in with the Damage Reduction, reducing overall damage. I was wrong then, my bad.

[@LordDarthHarry]

A while back they made it so armor rating gives some fire resistance. So it makes sense that that stacks with the perk.

[@Seeeyog]

The death was from fire, "Killed by burning". But when I was recording, some were by Impact as well. So to survive, if you stim right before impact, you should survive Napalm Strike if there are no obstacles nearby, the stim will heal you from the burning.

It is not, I just tested it. It takes 13 ticks for the Gas strike to kill us on 150 armors, be it fire resist or normal.

[@TSE_WOODY]

Thats probably just the gas orbital being bugged STILL they take so long to fix stuff

[@xTiessieman506x]

Realistically, all this armor should do is reduce the amount of time you are on fire. Or, it doesn’t decrease the damage you take to fire, but it won’t let you get set on fire either.

[@Kitkat5335]

Should have set a bug on fire then run into it. Saw a weird issue were the flame transfer caused it to burn like I had no fire reaist at all. Had the heavy on while testing out the fire weapons.

[@FurryEskimo]

Does it have more fire resistance, or are you simply taking less damage because you are combining higher defense with higher resistance? You basically have more life with higher defense, so you're going to see a smaller percentage of your total health taken when set on fire compared to normal.

[@Seeeyog]

You're correct, it's just more armor = more health, just to make it easy I said it more fire resistant. (old reply got deleted for some reason)

[@mindsight9732]

Your wrong. Helldivers have ~100 hp regardless of armor. Vitality booster bumps that to ~150%. Armor reduces some damage types taken from 200% to less, with head need fortified medium armor to start reduceing brlow 200% damage taken. Armor should impact explosion damage and direct damage on incendary grenade. Fire, Arc, and Gas shouldn't interact with armor stat.
